Kenneth “Slim” Gulley is the visionary behind Trappin Ink MAG, a platform dedicated to tattoo artistry, culture, and business. As a tattoo artist, magazine publisher, event organizer, and podcast host, Slim is committed to creating opportunities for artists to showcase their work, compete, and grow.

In 2023, Slim launched Trappin Ink Mag Bash, his first tattoo competition, setting the stage for future industry events. He later created and ran the Battle of the Sexes tattoo competition, further establishing his influence in the tattoo world. In 2023-2024, he kicked off the Trappin Ink MAG Show competition to launch the reality show Best of the Best, working with artists from Black Ink Crew. In 2024, he traveled to Memphis, Tennessee, for a head-to-head Texas vs. Memphis battle, where he won Best of Show alongside Charles Chapman. In 2025, he competed at the Ink Masters Tattoo Convention, marking another milestone in his career.

Beyond competitions, Slim owns Trappin Ink, a tattoo shop in Duncanville, TX, where he tattoos and collaborates with top artists. He also runs D-Town 2 Yo Town Podcast, giving a platform to creatives and entrepreneurs. His latest project, the Best of the Best Tattoo Competition, blends tattooing with reality TV-style filming, pushing the industry forward.

From publishing and event hosting to tattooing and networking, Slim is dedicated to building a movement where artists can thrive, compete, and gain recognition on a larger stage.
